The boy blinked, his mind slowly processing what had just happened. He looked at the girl, his savior, and gratitude filled his eyes. "Thank you," he managed to whisper, his voice hoarse.
The little girl simply nodded, her innocence and kindness shining through. She helped him to his feet, supporting him as they made their way back to the safety of the shore.
As they walked, the boy couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe towards the girl who had saved his life. He knew that this chance encounter would forever be etched in his memory, a reminder of the power of compassion and the kindness of strangers.
